Smart Address Bar

When you start typing in the IE8 Address bar, a drop-down list suggests destinations you might want to visit. The big improvement over the Firefox 3 Awesome Bar is that the results are categorized and grouped, allowing you to see Autocomplete suggestions as wells as entries from your Favorites folder and your browsing history. Coolest feature of all? If you inadvertently mistype an address, you can click a red X to delete it permanently from the history or suggestion list.

For a more detailed discussion of this and other features in Internet Explorer Beta 2, see Internet Explorer 8 gets a massive makeover.
